Some contract workers assigned to the Covid-19 program at the Sanatorium hospital in Les Cayes forcibly closed the doors of the departmental office of the Ministry of Public Health and Population on Tuesday, May 24, 2022, chasing away all the employees present at the time.
The main gate was locked, and in front of which traces of burning tires were observed, the courtyard of the building presented a very gloomy picture. Garbage and weeds were present.
These health workers intended by this movement to force the health authorities to pay them more than 7 months of salary arrears.
For the time being, no services have been provided to the departmental office of the MSPP in the South. This situation is likely to have a serious impact on the provision of health care, especially for the most vulnerable, given that health services were already at a rather poor level in the region.
